Overview
NAVARRES wastewater treatment plant serves Navarrés, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, with secondary treatment. It processes 465.42 m³/day of wastewater and has a designed capacity of 3,981.00 m³/day.
NAVARRES is a wastewater treatment plant located in Navarrés, within the Comunitat Valenciana region of Spain. The facility serves a population of approximately 3,204 residents and is situated inland, away from coastal areas. It operates under Spain's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which sets standards for wastewater collection and treatment. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. With a designed capacity of 3,981.00 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 465.42 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treatment process aligns with EU requirements for agglomerations of this size, which mandate secondary treatment as a minimum. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Mediterranean Sea. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting the Júcar River basin and downstream ecosystems, including coastal wetlands and marine habitats. By reducing pollutant loads, it helps maintain water quality and supports biodiversity in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Júcar River basin, which flows eastward into the Mediterranean Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for irrigation and drinking water supply. Downstream areas include ecologically sensitive coastal zones that rely on good water quality to sustain fish populations and migratory birds. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollution and nutrient loads, mitigating eutrophication risks in the receiving waters.
